I get same problem for anything over 3.65GHz. When I was at 3.7GHz and it happened I uped my volts a lot and it still happened. If it was stable enough to run wPrime for 5min +, y can't it even run Prime 95 for 1 sec. Also I know my temps aren't the problem, because I watch them when I run wPrime etc and if it was my mobo would tell me before shutting down.

So WTF is going on?
It's either not stable or it's your PSU. My system was getting all sorts of crap until I flipped my Corsair 650 over, the intake fan was being blocked. I got the same behavior... clocks would run stable for hours on end but crash the instant I ran full load.

However, there is such a thing as a non-P95 stable overclock... sometimes you can run stuff windows and PI stable, but P95 will crash instantly.
